2011.05.13 - Jury Selection DAY FIVE Evening Session

[KaylynnCouture]

Why is age "clearly applicable"?

I don't see how Casey's age is applicable at ALL. She's an adult. That;s all that should matter.

 

[Chiquita71]

HHJP: okay lets bring back 1135, juror.

AF: (not near mic) We would move for cause on 1135, he indicated he couldn't even consider age as a mitigating factor. He could not engage in a weighing process and it would be a challenge for cause at this time.

HHJP: after reading him instruction did he say that?

AF: you read him instruction and he still said he could not consider age as a mitigating factor.

JA: he still said he could not consider it.

HHJP: okay, tell him he is excused for cause.

 

[nursebeeme]

[epiphany]

Judge excused 1135 for cause!

 

[Blue Jackets fan]

[darcedarce]

PT Excused for cause. Dang.

 

[BigMomma]

Another one bites the dust.

 

[xin]

they both wanted to get rid of him. good.

 

[strawberry]

I thought AF was going to say they read that people are looking at their laptops on the internet.

 

[cluciano63]

Wow, judge did excuse the last guy for the age thing, I am pretty shocked.

 

[luckyme]

Oh they excused this guy. i liked him.

 

[Purple Iris]

Lets all remember while they are taking forever at sidebar that Mr. Mason physically cannot work into the night. He's very tired, it's been a long week:crazy:

Probably not near as tired as Judge Belvin has been through out this entire fiasco.

I remember him telling in court the other day how he spent 10 days/nights reading until 2AM each night researching and re-researching the motion for the air/gases.

Maybe he should remind Mason of that??

Cancel the crab cakes tonight Mason - I hear they aren't good cold.
Your "pressing" interview will have to wait it looks like.

Juror 1135 - whoops hold up - AF has something to say.

Would move for cause 1135 - can't consider age.
Cannot engage in a weighing circumstance and would be a challenge at this time.
AF - you read him the instruction and he did say he couldn't so why ask him a third time.
Based on that he will be excused for cause. SA agrees.

 

[Apex-mom]

darn it! he is scratched for cause since he said he couldn't consider age as a mitigating factor.

 

[nursebeeme]

1173 being called in.. a male that previously claimed a hardship

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Juror #1173 up next.

 

[sleutherontheside]

OK...so as soon as AF adjusted to microphone....Jim Lich "reached to his ear briefly" and I can't help but wonder if he was adjusting an ear bud???

Hmmmmmmm

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Lol this guy is funny already. I don't know why.

 

[epiphany]

Juror 1173
Hardship issue.
Company only pays 3 days.

 

[Brattigirle]

I don't see how Casey's age is applicable at ALL. She's an adult. That;s all that should matter.

Wasn't she like 22? Are they going to say that at 22 she doesn't know she shouldn't snuff out her daughters life?
